Deployable & affordable
metal additive manufacturing,
a new reality

Additive manufacturing has already proven its value across numerous applications and products. However, broader industry adoption remains limited due to a lack of deployable, safe, and cost-effective technology that’s also easy to use. ValCUN’s Molten Metal Deposition changes this, offering a breakthrough solution that addresses these challenges directly.

“Metal AM can unlock a new era for
industrial manufacturing, but only with a
deployable and cost-effective solution.
This is what ValCUN does.”

Dr. ir. JONAS GALLE, CEO

Deployable

Fits through a normal doorway, has a regular EU/US plug, uses a single-step process, and runs on industry-standard aluminium alloys.

Trusted
materials

We aim for trusted aluminum alloys, with extension possibilities to copper, magnesium and polymers.

Cost
effective

Achieving a 75-90% cost reduction compared to other AM solutions through process-wide cost-effectiveness.

NO LASERS
NO POWDER FEEDSTOCK
NO SUPPORTS
